Best time for safaris in Africa

The best time to visit Africa to see the beautiful savannah grasslands, wildlife, and culture is from January to April and June to November, during the drier hot months. The vegetation thins out and wildlife congregates around remaining water sources, and these seasons offer beautiful sightings due to the short grass.

Our Kenya Safaris are scheduled all through the year, but we best customize and tailor-make it for you. You will be lucky to visit Kenya during these seasons, and indulge in wildlife sightings, cultural experiences, and city tours. 

The best time to visit Africa for wildebeest migration is from June to October of every year, and the best time to see the wildebeest calving is from January to April. Where more than 8000 calves are born daily, and also marks the start of the Wildebeest Migration. Stay in Ndutu Conservation Area, or the Southern part of the Serengeti National Park. You will be welcomed with an abundance of big cats and scavengers that hunt and scavenge for the rich food available in the region.

Uganda and Rwanda offer incredible sightings of the Silverback Gorillas and chimpanzees. The best time to visit Africa for gorilla trekking safaris is from Jan to April and August to October, during the dry seasons. 

Overall, Africa is a year-round destination. Its varying climates provide good conditions for a visit to one region or another at every time of year.
